Herman's LA CAGE Score Tony

Posted by: Zelgo 12:53 pm EDT 04/02/14

At 1984 Tonys, when LA CAGE AUX FOLLES went up against SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, LA CAGE walked away with so many major awards, including Best Musical, Actor, Score, and Book. SUNDAY won for lighting and scenic design.

Although I love the score to LA CAGE, The score to SUNDAY is a shimmering masterpiece IMHO. True, LA CAGE has has a more robust life, with a song etched into much of the country's minds.

Historically, does anyone else see this as a Tony mistake? Was there some sort of SUNDAY backlash at the time?
